History

8 0

Answer:

Silk cloth was extremely valuable in Ancient China. Wearing silk was an important status symbol. At first, only members of the royal family were allowed to wear silk. Later, silk clothing was restricted to only the noble class. Merchants and peasants were not allowed to wear silk. Silk was even used as money during some Ancient Chinese dynasties.

Keeping Silk a Secret

Silk became a prized export for the Chinese. Nobles and kings of foreign lands desired silk and would pay high prices for the cloth. The emperors of China wanted to keep the process for making silk a secret. Anyone caught telling the secret or taking silkworms out of China was put to death.

In recent years, the controversy surrounding environmental issues has decreased.
Bingel [31]
In regards to this question, there are no options given. I hope you are looking for whether the statement in the question is true or false. It would be totally false to say that in recent years, the controversy surrounding environmental issues has decreased. The controversy has increased not only in third world countries, but also in developed countries as well.
